Street Fighter (1987): Ryu and Ken are about the only still-familiar faces in the first game in the series, although the final boss is Sagat, who returns in later games.

Final Fight (1989): Confused? Capcom originally had shown off demos of Final Fight under the name Street Fighter '89. Word is the name changed because of the significantly different style of play.

Street Fighter II (1991): The real sequel, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, became a worldwide phenomenon. It remains far and away Capcom's best-selling game, with 6.3 million units sold for the Super Nintendo version. In second place for the company is Resident Evil 2, which moved 4.96 million for the PlayStation One. Street Fighter II spawned countless expansion pack-type games that introduced new characters, settings and more.

Street Fighter Alpha (1995): Alpha's story comes between the first and second Street Fighter games. This series also saw two more versions later released.

Street Fighter III (1997): This series saw just Ken and Ryu return and included three games total.
